Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 23:25:
- Kupsabiny: “I will make them be harsh/rude to you in a very fierce way on account of the pain that I have. They shall cut off your nose and your ears and the soldiers that remain, the sword shall eat them. Your sons and your daughters shall be taken into exile and those that remain, fire shall destroy them.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “In my severe anger with you, I’ll have you punished by them. And in their anger they will-cut-off you nose and ears. They will-take-captive your children, and the-(ones) left with you they will-kill by sword or be-burned.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act very furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
